Our Vice-President, David Medler, recently presented a well-received talk to the Victoria chapter of the Institute of Professional Bookkeepers of Canada entitled "The Hiring Process: What You Should Know". A brief synopsis of the presentation follows:

In today's labour market, the overall goal when hiring a new employee should not be to hire the "best" candidate, but to minimize your risks when taking on a new employee. Hiring the wrong candidate can be costly in terms of financial losses, legal action, and loss of reputation. This presentation will outline the basic steps in minimizing your risks during the hiring process. Topics to be covered include: Defining the Position; Recruiting Qualified Candidates; Short-listing and Interviewing; Presenting the Offer. If you would like to have a clearer idea of how to minimize your risks when hiring new employees, please give David a call at 250-389-2848.
